When FBI Director James Comey first let Hilary Clinton off the legal hook, I gave him a reluctant pass. I thought his dressing down of Clinton for being extremely negligent in the handling of national security material, while not indicting her, was vaguely Solomonic, even if I wished it weren't.
Boy, was I wrong! I am frankly embarrassed.
The revelations from the FBI interview with Clinton that were shamelessly slipped under the door like a throwaway paper in a cheap motel over Labor Day weekend made me think this:
If were I an FBI agent, I would despise James Comey. He has humiliated the FBI and all its employees. The institution will never be the same, at least not for decades to come. The FBI is no longer an instrument of justice. It is the reverse. It is an obfuscater of justice and an enabler of the rich and powerful. How depressing and disgusting.God help our republic.
Exaggerated? Not in the slightest.

“Actually Corrupt Comey goes back to WHITEWATER, HE WAS THE US ATTORNEY in charge of the Investigation.”
I remember hearing Larry Nichols on a radio talk show saying “Folks, the INDICTMENTS are coming. Hillary is GOING to be indicted.”
It was either George Putnam or Ray Briem’s show in the early ‘90’s.
Remember they said there were to be MASSIVE resignation’s if the AG didn’t INDICT
HAHAHAHAHAHA
J. Edgar Hoover looks better each passing year.
When he gave his big speech I saw something in his demeanor. That man was afraid. They have something big on him and he had to tow the line. He knew he had to lay out the facts, but he also knew he could not go over the finish line because he was warned and threatened.
He looked very uneasy during the whole thing, He was threatened on the highest level possible, and he did their bidding. There is more to the election of Hillary than meets the eye. It is the stuff of a conspiracy novel. A scary one.
Obama seems to have gotten away with everything. No one talks about him at all. It’s all Hillary all the time. He is one evil SOB in my opinion. Hillary must hate taking all the flak for following his orders.
Imagine a Politically Weaponized FBI in Clinton’s Hands
Agents actively avoided catching Hillary lying and didn’t want the media to catch her either

..............
Imagining a politicized FBI ready to do the bidding of another President Clinton is scarier than a stack of Stephen King books. Here are three signs the FBI is already putting politics before justice for Clinton:
1) The FBI tried not to catch Hillary in a lie.
If you’re ever the target of a criminal investigation, don’t bank on law enforcement believing whatever everything you tell them — unless you’re a Clinton.
The narrative Hillary sold the FBI holds water about as well as a slice of swiss cheese. She told them she thought a bracketed “C” was “referencing paragraphs marked in alphabetical order” which would make perfect sense if it weren’t for the total absence of A, B, and D-Z.
Julian Assange blew this nonsense out of the water on Sean Hannity’s show last night, saying Wikileaks has released “thousands of examples, where she [Clinton], herself, has used a c in brackets, and signed it off, and more than 22,000 times that she has received cables from others with this c in brackets. So, it’s absolutely incredible for Clinton to lie. She is lying about not knowing what that is.”
Not only did the FBI try not to catch her in a lie, they didn’t want the media to catch her in one either. Why else is there no transcript or recording of her FBI interview? Comey said he wanted to treat her like anyone else — so where’s the recording? Everyone else’s interview was recorded.
Now, all the media can do is wonder what exactly she said to the FBI special agents. One thing’s for sure, if she told them any of the nonsense she’s been telling us about her emails all year, she likely committed a felony or two.
2) Does Obama have ESP?
It was almost like President Obama somehow knew how this would all turn out.
When Comey delivered his “non-indictment indictment” of Hillary Clinton, he stated, “I have not coordinated or reviewed this statement in any way with the Department of Justice or any other part of the government.” That seemed questionable given that at the same moment, Hillary Clinton was aboard Air Force One with President Obama about to make a triumphant, I’m-not-going-to-jail landing in North Carolina. Would President Obama be plane-pooling with someone if he thought there was a chance she might be indicted for mishandling classified information?
In June, when President Obama decided to endorse Hillary Clinton for president — even though she was under criminal investigation — did that not send a message to the FBI regarding how he’d like to see the case decided?
What if the president had endorsed a candidate who turned out to be a criminal?
There’s no question that the president would have wound up looking supremely ridiculous if Hillary had been indicted.
He sure got lucky.
3) The FBI uses holidays as human shields.
Remember when the FBI interrog- er, I mean, “interviewed” Hillary Clinton? It was the Saturday morning of July 4 weekend. Americans were on boats, at fireworks stores, prepping for cookouts, and engaging in other holiday weekend activities. Nobody was paying attention. News shows were stuck with backups to the backup hosts covering gigantic election news for only a tiny slice of the people who would normally be paying attention.
Then, Comey announced two days later there would be no charges. They must have done a real deep analysis of the answers she gave.
Jump cut to last weekend where the FBI used another holiday as a human shield. This time it was Labor Day watering down the news from the FBI’s data dump. Even House Speaker Paul Ryan was floored by how political the move seemed, saying, “I can’t believe that they would do what is such a patently political move.”
Nothing is scarier than government institutions serving political agendas, but it seems to be a core principle of progressive leadership. Are #NeverTrump Republicans really so obsessed with philosophical purity that they’ll allow Hillary Clinton to become president and continue to the politicization of our bureaucracy? What if voting against Trump means an America where we can’t see where the FBI ends and the Clinton Foundation begins?

Give the guy a break.
Who does the FBI Dir work for?
Who does the AG work for?
Who did their boss endorse for President?
They BOTH work for Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President. What you witnessed were TWO PAWNS following orders. Hussein said Hillary would NOT be indicted, she wasn't.
Didn't YOU learn in Watergate that the POTUS is in charge? Hasn't Obama already taught you he is corrupt beyond belief?
It's important for the FIRST Muslim President to have Hillary continue the Muslim invasion of America. Hillary, as part of her deal for the Presidential pardon, will increase the number of Muslims invading the US by over FIVE TIMES. Hillary doesn't care whether your daughters, granddaughters or wife are raped and beaten by peaceful Muslims, she stayed out of jail, that is what is important to her.
We’ve been a banana republic going on 8 years soon. What did anyone with a brain expect?
Hussein Obama, America's FIRST Muslim President, has access to ALL of the politician's emails, all of their financial records, all of their dirt.
If you think politicians such as Linda Graham (RINO-SC) don't have dirt under their homosexual beds, then you need an IQ test. The politicians we have at the top are there because they are corrupt. Hussein and his Muslim terrorists in the US government owns almost all of them.
“Actually Corrupt Comey goes back to WHITEWATER, HE WAS THE US ATTORNEY in charge of the Investigation.”
Good point. I didn’t know. Thanks.
That’s what I’ve been thinking. I thought she’d be toast before the nomination, and anybody else would have been.
No nominee should get this far with that much baggage, but the media abandons as much integrity as it takes to advance their failed ideology.
Looking back from seeing her lose the election we might be glad that they decided to prop up such a pathetic candidate rather than the alternative. Which wasn’t much better.
And Comey also has ties to the Clinton Foundation. (A thank you for his work on Whitewater???) Comey is dirty.
That only serves to reinforce how total the corruption is.
I'm on board that thinking....but it sure does make me wonder what has gone on in the mind of Comey as far as how his decisions have been made.
On the contrary. The FBI does not record interviews. The agents do the interview, then go back to their office and fill out a Form 302 with their version of the interview. If what they write differs from what you recall saying, you're the one who will be accused of perjury. Moreover, if you insist on recording the interview, they will refuse to continue the interview. The last thing they want as a recorded interview.
Yes you are correct regarding policy of no recording FBI interviews.
However, Comey was the ultimate authority on what facts went into those 302s to be completed by agents in documenting answers to the FBI softball questions of Hillary.
I suspect that Hillary and her lawyers were given a complete list of FBI questions days before her interview so that she was prepared.
Just as I assume that Hillary and her people will be given all debate questions prior to her debate with Trump.
How the FBI Went Easy on Hillary Clinton
Published September 9, 2016
By Paul Sperry, The New York Post
It’s clear now the FBI conducted a sweetheart investigation into Hillary Clinton’s e-mail shenanigans that appears to have been fixed from the start to go nowhere.
Far from exonerating Clinton, the nearly 60 pages of documents expose both the systematic destruction of subpoenaed evidence by Clinton’s aides and the curious lack of interest by investigators in recovering it.
Agents also failed to resolve unanswered questions, reconcile contradictory testimony or sweat uncooperative witnesses.
Comey declared the investigation free of undue influence three days after his agents interviewed Clinton at FBI headquarters under special terms. Agents weren’t allowed to Mirandize Clinton or place her under oath, even though she was the subject of a criminal investigation possibly involving espionage. They weren’t even allowed to record her answers.
What’s more, Comey made the two FBI agents who interviewed Clinton — along with all agents and forensic analysts involved in the so-called investigation — sign non-disclosure agreements gagging them from talking about the case even with other employees.
Comey even let Clinton’s State Department aides Cheryl Mills and Heather Samuelson sit in on the interview with Clinton’s other lawyers, despite the glaring conflict of interest. FBI documents make clear Mills and Samuelson led the effort to search and destroy Clinton’s subpoenaed e-mails and should’ve been prime targets of the investigation.
Comey didn’t even attend her interview and, per his testimony, only read a “summary” of it.
The FBI failed to pursue even the most basic lines of questioning. When Clinton pleaded ignorance about basic classification symbols, agents could’ve produced the State documents she signed acknowledging she was briefed about how to ID and handle classified information at the highest levels.

Yes, he should, but if he did it wouldn’t be a very healthy choice for him if you know what I mean.
